I've never seen a goal keeper take a pen. But she's mustard

[Stargazer]

Geez, this is exciting stuff.

[canefan]

You don't want to get down to the defenders in the Shootout

[canefan]

US miss again. Sweden with their first chance to win

[canefan]

Oh I god, what a save by the US keeper. Are they going to VAR? Sweden wins! What a crazy result

[Stockcar86]

I'd love to see the replay of that

[Stargazer]

@Stockcar86 Yep, in slow-mo

[Billy Tell]

Ha ha

Eye candy >> better side.

USA totally dominant. But couldn’t score. First time I see goalie take a penalty. First time I see VAR rule out a save that costs the tournament.

[canefan]

The US had the result in their hands. And one of their icons fluffed her lines. What a way to go down

[Stockcar86]

I'd fancy Japan to beat Sweden in the next game

[Bovidae]

Ironic that for all of her heroics the Swedish GK never saved a penalty.

[MiketheSnow]

Crapinoe

Hopefully seen the back of her

Brilliant drama

Unlucky Naeher

René Higuita , the Colombian GK, used to.

Very dramatic although I could have done with getting to bed after 90 minutes. Wanted USA to go through solely because Sweden aren't very exciting to watch and I'm heading to Eden Park to see them. At 3-2 up in the pens, USA managed to fail to hit the target 3 times out of 4 - that's letting your goalkeeper and your team down badly. No idea why Rapinoe hasn't already retired - laughing after missing a penalty will make sure she gets lots of US abuse in the near future.

They already got a lot of shit for the equal pay thing and even more so the not singing the national anthem issue. She is the lightning rod for that. But in truth they played 3 games and couldn't score a field goal. Just didn't have much of an edge up front

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Just saw Rapinoe's miss. That is glorious. Couldn't happen to a more deserving person.

[Donsteppa]

A good two minute summary of normal and extra time.

The save from Horan low to her left was the best - watching in real time I thought that was in.

[MiketheSnow]

Great first half

England under the pump

Could easily be 2 down

But should have been awarded a penalty for blatant shove in the back in the box

[canefan]

England is another fancied team who are struggling
